The complete mitochondrial genome of Lutjanus ophuysenii and phylogenetic analysis

Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome of Lutjanus ophuysenii was analyzed by the next-generation sequencing. It was composed of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNA), 2 ribosomal RNA genes (rRNA), and a control region with a total length of 16,498 bp. This mitochondrial genome has a base composition of 27.78% A, 16.55% G, 30.68% C, and 24.98% T. The phylogenetic analysis revealed that the L. ophuysenii has the closest relationship with L. votta. This mitochondrial genome provides important information for the phylogenetic relationship and genetic resource in this species.
